Considering the same, AICF is forced to shift the venue of FIDE Arbiter Seminar scheduled at Port Blair to Kottayam, Kerala. The seminar will be now held at Kottayam, Kerala on the same dates of 11-13 Mar 22 as scheduled earlier. Interested participants are requested to send your application through the State Associations .
